Returning a PullDownList Value?

[Assembly]

I'm trying to return the value of a PullDownMenu.

I think I'm supposed to use: GetSelectedChoiceInfo(PIODialog,kPIOLIST,0,iReturnValue,gPIOSTRING);

All I seem to get is iReturnValue=0

I tried other functions on the developer page. This should be an easy answer..

How do I get the values back out of the dialog pulldown?

Procedure NewTestPIO;

VAR

hobject:HANDLE;

ObjectName:STRING;

X,y:REAL;

gPIOSTRING:STRING;

PROCEDURE GetPioName;

CONST

kOK = 1;

kCancel = 2;

kPIOLIST = 5;

kRight = 1;

kBottom = 2;

kLeft = 3;

kColumn = 4;

kResize = 0;

kShift = 1;

VAR

PIODialog :INTEGER;

cnt, tmp :INTEGER;

boo :BOOLEAN;

sReturnValue:STRING;

iReturnValue:INTEGER;

FUNCTION GetPlugInString(ndx :INTEGER) :STRING;

BEGIN

{Static Text}

IF ndx = 1001 THEN GetPlugInString := 'OK'

ELSE IF ndx = 1002 THEN GetPlugInString := 'Cancel'

ELSE IF ndx = 1003 THEN GetPlugInString := 'Create Pio'

ELSE IF ndx = 1005 THEN GetPlugInString := ''

; {Help Text}

IF ndx = 2001 THEN GetPlugInString := 'Insert the PIO'

ELSE IF ndx = 2002 THEN GetPlugInString := '

'

ELSE IF ndx = 2005 THEN GetPlugInString := 'Help text.'

;END;

FUNCTION GetStr(ndx :INTEGER) :STRING;

BEGIN

GetStr := GetPlugInString(ndx + 1000);

END;

FUNCTION GetHelpStr(ndx :INTEGER) :STRING;

BEGIN

GetHelpStr := GetPlugInString(ndx + 2000);

END;

PROCEDURE dialog_Handler(VAR item :LONGINT; data :LONGINT);

BEGIN

CASE item OF

SetupDialogC: BEGIN

AddChoice( PIODialog, kPIOLIST, 'Keynote2011V2', 0 );

AddChoice( PIODialog, kPIOLIST, 'TimberWindow3D', 1 );

AddChoice( PIODialog, kPIOLIST, 'PlaceIt', 2 );

END;

END;

END;

BEGIN

PIODialog := CreateResizableLayout(GetStr(3), TRUE, GetStr(kOK), GetStr(kCancel), FALSE, TRUE );

{create controls}

CreatePulldownMenu( PIODialog, kPIOLIST, 45);

{set relations}

SetFirstLayoutItem( PIODialog, kPIOLIST );

{set alignments}

{set bindings}

{set help strings}

FOR cnt := 1 TO 5 DO SetHelpText(PIODialog, cnt, GetHelpStr(cnt));

{run PIODialog}

IF RunLayoutDialog( PIODialog, dialog_Handler ) = 1 then

BEGIN

GetSelectedChoiceInfo(PIODialog, kPIOLIST,0,iReturnValue,gPIOSTRING);

AlrtDialog(Concat(iReturnValue));

END;

END;

BEGIN;

GetPioName;

END;

Run(NewTestPIO);

GetSelectedChoiceInfo (or getting any dialog value) needs to be part of the dialog handler. Use global variables (declared in the very top VAR statement) to use values in the main part of your script.
